Science, Creation & Evolutionopen-minded teaching supported by scientists, ACLU opposes :: ReplyReply Yeah. And the "wall of separation between Church and State" was constructed to keep the government out of religion, not religion out of the government. The First Amendment merely states that the government cannot force its citizens to become part of whatever religion it (the government) chooses. The government cannot interfere with the citizens' right to worship whatever deity they want, whenever they want, and however they want, so long as the worshipping process does not bring harm to others. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say, "Those crazy Christians can't put up a cross on public property" or "You can't mention God in the Pledge." Nope. It just means exactly what it says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." I wonder how putting up a nativity scene during the Christmas season -- which, in case the ACLU has forgotten, is a holiday that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the very Man who came to save us all -- is an "establishment of religion." I never have understood that. And a big kudos to you, OMW!!! A better response, I could not come up with. The fact is, Helix, this is a Christian message board. Why are you so surprised that we do not believe that the homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable alternative? Why are you startled every time you read that we believe said lifestyle is a sin? And if you're uncomfortable with the topics we discuss on this message board and what we stand for, then you're free to either leave or to argue your points in a mature, non-arrogant, and thoughtful way. |
